RA "Yesterday we saw the reveal of Day 1 Studios' return to the mech genre with Reign of Thunder, a free-to-play multiplayer shooter. For the past year, however, the world has been in awe over the brief gameplay bits we've seen of indie developer Adhesive Games' Hawken, another free-to-play mech-based multiplayer shooter, whose beta begins at the end of the year. Until yesterday, Adhesive and Hawken had little competition in their way--although currently MechWarrior Online is accepting registration--so I was interested in hearing what the studio felt about Day 1's announcement."

Expect the game to only work offline right now.
As we trend ever deeper into a world of games that require servers maintained by the developer or publisher, we see more and more games disappearing from the world. What happens when these games are shut down? What does it take for a game to survive beyond this point?
I was going to say that. Lol!
Actually, "Just ask Atari where ET is."
But basically the same joke.
Most modern games that have online components like destiny rely so heavily on co op between players that even if you had a full disc version popping it in and playing won't be a fun experience as you can't play the actual game after hitting a wall with difficulty levels of they even boot
But classic titles like vice city will still be the same in 2049 as they were in 2001 provided you play on a disc not stripped down digital versions that have the soundtrack cut out ten years later
Best mech game ever is ZOE.
Mechwarrior Online
Hawken

Looks like my Mech game time will be full very soon. I gotta play all 3 of these.

Just wish we still had Square Enix making a decent Front Mission game.
